American business leaders are turning on Trump — fast

[Guno צְבִי]

“A difficult time to invest.”

“Everybody’s paralyzed.”

“I’m sorry I can’t be particularly positive.”

“The chaos that is reigning right now is causing everyone to sit on their hands.”

That’s Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, ON Semiconductor CEO Hassane El-Khoury, Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson, and Nasdaq Private Market CEO Tom Callahan on the world of Donald Trump right now. Their comments over the past week capture a growing disquiet among business leaders, a month into a presidency that many of them had cheered.

Yep investors don't like having things up in the air. and not knowing what Trump will do in the next min. let alone the next day or two has them all on edge.
The probability of him putting his tariffs on and raising prices of everything we buy causing a deep recession / depression doesn't sit well with them nor should it with anybody else.

I'm doing fine; I love volatility. I made over $500 just today for just doing nothing until around 1 pm, then clicking on a button.

There aren't a lot of 'investors' out there, mostly just gamblers, so no problem, except for the ones who made bad guesses. Money gets made no matter what direction the share price move, it's all about guessing right, is all. Today prices mostly moved up.

The volatility of stagflation can actually seem like stability. Inflation drives up the prices of a stock, and the recession drives the price down. It ends up in the middle. You end up with a market that might go up, down, or stay the same... Which is to say even unstable about its instability.

I saw no one reacting to the fact that trump only gave a 30 day delay to tariffs. People keep expecting trump to start acting normal, but love him or hate him, trump will never start acting normal. There is a high probability (but not a certainty) that the stock market will crash by about 10%.

So on Feb 18th, I bought a whole bunch of put options on SPY with a strike price of $585, and an expiration date of March 21st. They cost $2.93 at the time. They went up to $12+, but are back at $6.56 now. I am still hoping it will go to $31+, but we will see.

I am now making plans to buy GLD options for an expiration date in December. I figure gold has a good chance of either going up by a lot or down by a lot. More importantly, I think the market is undervaluing the odds of either happening. Honestly, both might happen. I currently see the range of gold prices to be plus or minus 50%.

My wife used to be worried about me investing in options, but these days she is fine with it. She says she trusts me. The secret is to always put away at least half the money in safe investments, and to not become upset by the losses. Just because I am right about the market underestimating the risk, does not mean that particular investment will make money. The overall investments make money.
